Ben Goodger had the following to say:
Netscape had it by being first.
Microsoft has it by being everywhere.
Firefox will have it by being best.We’re coming.
But I think he left out the bit about Netscape blowing it by getting all uppity.
Remember when Han Solo said Great kid, don’t get cocky!
? Well, small victories are great, but they are not equivalent to crushing the Empire.
While Firefox may be great, or even the best, I am continually saddened by the fact that many people/companies/organizations do not want the best, they just want the “good enough” – Really? Sure…
Ask yourself this? Is Windows better than Mac OS X? Is a BMW better than a Dodge? Don’t underestimate the power of “being everywhere” cuz while the dark side is not stronger…. ok, I give up on the Star Wars analogies, you get my meaning…
As an aside, I’ve had Firefox version 1.0 Preview Release quit on me a number of times. I can usually tell when it will happen because there is crazy disk activity beforehand. That’s ok, I blame the plugin authors, why? It makes me feel better…
